Cyberdevil's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Episode 21 - Discord & etc. (w/ ninjamuffin99)]

Humble origins, horrible Steam experiences and great accomplishments on the shoom. Good stuff. These podcasts are pretty chill... easy to have on in the background. Think I'll be tuning in again. Any thoughts on adding a quick excerpt on podcast contents with these descriptions though? Just a quick rundown on what y'all are talking about? Not that I'd personally need it, and the links seem way more important, but... just seems proper.

Good stuff overall! I like the atmosphere.

-cd-

GoodL responds:

Yeah that's a good idea, thanks for the suggestion and I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[Over/Done]

Not sure about that bagpipe-like bit at the end but the rest: solid. Simple but effectual lyrics too! So... is this some kind of outro? Something symbolic? Hiphop career out of commission...? It's got that cryptic hype vibe. Like: could be the start of something...

-cd-

Teqneek responds:

Welll, this song was either going to be 20 minutes long or 40 seconds long, that's all I can really say about what it IS.

Hip Hop career out of commission? Hardly. I can't stop, regardless if anyone is listening or not. As as long as my brain keeps being constantly flooded with rhymes and ideas, I'm forced to keep making music.

Thanks so much for the review, and glad you dug it for what it's worth. New ishhh coming soon btw I LUHHHH YOUUUU

[I Love Him]

What a trip! Those beats that suck you in, sensual samples and fast-paced close to psychotic flow. It's a got a build, pauses at suitable places... and sure took a turn from that almost macabre Halloween-like vibe at the start of it. Neurofunk hmm, so that's the style. Serotonin kicks. Can dig. Feels pretty polished in how it all goes together too, never really loses that red thread, even when one part fades into another. I wonder if this really has anything to do with Pico and Co (? That sample?) but Belated Happy Pico Day Quarl! Good stuff.

-cd-

Quarl responds:

Nothing to do with Pico day other than the fact that I finished it on Pico Day. I was going to put some more work into this until I looked at newgrounds and realized everyone was talking about Pico Day.

Since this is only the second new track finished this year I'll gladly take the little plug Tom Fulp handed me. This is one of my better drum and bass tracks. Tom Fulp is pure generosity <3

[Pink clouds]

An ambient and fleeting, feeling-reeling melody here... not bad.

-cd-

GreyHooves responds:

Why thank you ^^

[Better Than The Book - Meteor Shower]

Powerful track, both personal and catchy! I feel I'm running out of words with all these parallel comments but on all of this but: gotta comment. Hope you get this topping the charts here on NG too!

-cd-

Jabun responds:

Cheers Cyber :D Super happy you enjoyed it and always good to hear from you whichever the platform XD I've just uploaded the lyric video to NG too, so hopefully that gets some plays here as well :) Thanks again!

[Madness Aspiration]

Yeaaah I think so! :D Somehow feels like it's almost too melodic for the Madness realm, too structured, but at the same time it does incorporate plenty of elements that feel familiar to that particular style. The beat in particular. Maybe it's the rest of it that somehow feels off... but I could definitely see it working well as is. Classical with a twist.

-cd-

DESHIEL responds:

I'm actualy saving something more on point for when I get to score an episode :D
And I like experimenting with the madness elements, bringing them to new places, using them in different ways. If you want classic or generic, you have plenty of other people doing just that apart from Djjaner and Cheshyre hehe

[Honeybee Polka (2018)]

Really happy mood with this one. Can't say poka's something I usually listen to but... it's not wrong once in a while. Fun to listen to.

-cd-

Bertn1991 responds:

That's fair. Not a lot of folks have Polka in their playlists. Thank you for listening! Glad it was pleasant ^.^

[The Frizz (Radio Edit)]

The Frizz, hah, I do like the idea! XD The beat didn't stop nearly enough to really make a game out of this, though the little stops it did have were unexpected, considering the wholesome waveform otherwise. Was thinking it wouldn't be a challenge at all with the NG player, but they're still camouflaged pretty well here. Short bits.

Overall it flows together well. The sound quality feels balanced, the variation's definitely there, the rhythm and all keeps you pretty hooked in. Reminds me of house/dance around the millennium, not so much the newer stuff, but maybe there's a lot of this still being made that I just don't hear. Feels like the that saw-like sound's not so common. That it's more drawn-out and reverby these days. But what do I know. Gives me a good dose of nostalgia that way though!

A blast to listen too! Good stuff.

-cd-

JohnnyFrizz responds:

Thank you so much for the awesome review brother! I actually made a far longer version of this, the Club Mix, which has a lot more stops, I will put a link on the description for you to check it out ;)

Cheers!
